Question
My baby is a little over one year old and recently contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease. After being hospitalized for four days, they were discharged, but a week later, it relapseed again. I would like to ask how to solve this problem?
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by viral infection, and it is usually possible to produce protective antibodies and recover through symptomatic treatment. Although the symptoms may recur, this may be due to low immunity. It is recommended to consult a doctor again. If it is a viral infection, antiviral medications can be used again, along with immune-enhancing drugs such as transfer factor oral liquid.
